Not a Perfect Gun.


The German army does not seem to
be quite happy, says London service
journal, with its new magazine rifle, in
spite of all that has been said about the
facility with which men can be trained
to use the weapon. From one source
we learn that even the rawest recruits
could learn to handle it with ease and
shoot with rapidity after course of a
few days instruction while on the
march to meet an enemy. This YER
sion, however, is strangely at variance
with the experience of some military
critics who, having seen German troops
at drill with the magazine rife, have
come to the conclusion that the details
of its manipulation are difficult to learn,
and that even old soldiers find it az
exceedingly awkward weapon to handle
The breach action is said to get out Of
order, and in fact to 'jam," when small
particles OF grit, sand or fouling clos
the mechanism. After the magazine
has been emptied it takes nearly
quarter OF minute to refill, and the
method of loading is by no means
perfect, especially when the fingers o
men are benumbed with cold.

Duringt he heavy snow storm on Thurs
day of week bcrore last, young lady
teaching school sixteen miles south west
of Mitchell, dismissed her school in the
middle of the afternoon and started for
home, II miles distant, taking with her
two little girls, aged and II years re-
spectively. After going short distance
in the driving storm she became bewild-
cred and lost her course After travelling
till dark the children gave out and to
keep them from freezing she got out of
the wind behind snow drift and covered
thew with her gossamcr There they all
remained almost buried by snow until
$50 p. NJ. of the next day when they
were discovered. The young lady s
knees, arms and hands were badly
frozen. One of the little girls was also
badly frozen and is in critical condi-
ton. Miss Gardner the teacher, saved
the lives of the children by keeping
them awake and rubbing their hands ana
limbs

HInrc Menfhcr

The worst snow storm of the season,
and the worst since 80, struck this sec
ton of country on the the 17th ult., and
one which blockaded the railroads for
several days. One week later another
high wind set in, and, although but lit
more disastrous to the railroads than ex.
perenced since the heavy snow fall of
six years ago. In the history of the
Milwaukee line from Mitchell west ii
was the worst ever known. The high
wind picked the snow and sand from the
prairics. deposited it in the cuts and
packed them solid. The company made
no efforts to clear the track until the
wind went down, which it did Saturday
night. Sunday morning a snow plow
and gang of shovclers started out of
Mitchell, but consumed the whole of
that day and the next in reaching White
Lake, 36 miles distant. Tuesday morn
ing the big plow attached to the heavy
six driver locomotive 635, used on the
next division east, reached Kimball at
10 o'clock, and after taking water from
a fire hydrant it pushed out for Cham
| berlain. An hour after Conductor Har.
mons working train and gang of shovel
ers arrived. About noon regular pass.
engcr train with two engines came
in, bringing large amount of express,
| about fifteen sacks of mail for Kimball
, and Il dozen cars of freight. The train
was then made up for an east bound TRIP
and left about 1:30. The passengers
freight express and mail went through
to Chamberlain on Conductor Harmon
train. Wednesday all trains on time.
The blockade was not caused so much
by deep snow as from i, being packed SC
solidly. In the worst cuts it was bu
five or six feet deep, but under it lay
coating of ice and mud on the rails
making the risk of running a snow plow
at great speed into the cuts extremely
hazardous because of the danger of dc
railing the engine. Not only this, bu,
the engineer of the big locomotive-G3:
said that the snow was just the rish
depth to make it hard for the plow Il
work; that it was easier for the plow tt
30 through deep snow-eight or te,
feet deep--than three or four in depth
because in the latter case there was no
enough weight on the plow to hold j
down. As it was much of the snow
had to be shoycleu bv hand.
